Item 1. Description of Business.  HISTORY  eTELCHARGE.com (eTelcharge), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 7, 1999. Its offices are located at 124 Loftin Street, Suite 600, Cedar Hill, Texas 75104.   eTelcharge has an Internet web site, www.etelcharge.com and its stock symbol is: ETLC.  BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT  eTelcharge was organized in June 1999 to provide customers of online merchants the ability to charge their online purchases to their local telephone bill. In May of 2003, eTelcharge expanded its service by offering credit card processing for merchants and becoming a merchant service company.  eTelcharge currently has two core business units in its portfolio:  eTelcharge, the New Online Way to PayTM   ·Online-to-phone bill purchasing  ·Online digital stored value card  eTelcharge Traditional Merchant Services  ·Retail Transaction Services  ·Credit cards, Loyalty cards, EBT, Check authorization and guarantee  ·Government-to-People Transaction Processing Service  ·Government-grade merchant services  eTelcharge entered into an agreement with AT&T in February of 2006 for provision of billing and collection services which was amended in April 2006, and which allows it to process, subject to AT&Ts prior approval, non-credit card transactions for AT&T customers and have those transactions applied to their AT&T land-line telephone bills.  This agreement authorizes billing in the SW region of the United States and covers all other regions of the US in roll out phases from the SE region to the West Coast territory within AT&T markets.  Under the April 2006 amendment, eTelcharge and AT&T entered into a trial of billing information and  entertainment type charges on the AT&T Telco End User monthly bill.  eTelcharge concurrently developed a Traditional Merchant Services business unit, leveraging its expertise in transaction processing to provide persistently high value to its merchant services customers.  Within this business unit, Etelcharge has penetrated the growing market segment of Government-to-People payment services.  In June 2007, Rob Howe joined eTelcharge as its President and CEO, and in August 2007 Mr. Howe became Chairman of the Board.  Under Mr. Howe's guidance, eTelcharge evaluated its ongoing development efforts, and its old technology and current development efforts, and replaced them with an entirely new, internally-developed online payment technology based on Web 2.0 standards.  eTelcharge fully discontinued all old versions of its proprietary Online billing software solution, and in September, 2007, eTelcharge completed work on and launched its new technology platform.  We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret law, as well as confidentiality agreements and other contractual relationships with our employees, affiliates, distributors and others to protect our intellectual property rights.  STRATEGY  eTelcharges strategy is to provide billing through home phone bill to online merchants, build its membership base and provide its technology to other online billing users, such as cable companies, utilities and in other geographies.  By accomplishing the three prongs of the strategy, eTelcharge will monetize virtually every touch with its customers.     -3-    MARKETING  eTelcharge seeks to market its services to online merchants for its inclusion among their payment options.  Additionally eTelcharge will offer digital online stored value cardsspecific-use stored value cards like gift cards, and general-use stored value cards such as VISA, MasterCard, American Express, which can be loaded through the eTelcharge membership.  By providing this flexibility in purchase options, eTelcharge expects to appeal to a variety of online purchasers.  Additionally, because of the very nature of the eTelcharge membership, eTelcharge expects to attract online purchasers who are concerned about identity theft, as the eTelcharge membership is inherently safer from the identity theft perspective.  COMPETITION  There are few competitors in the market today who provide online consumers with the options for payment provided by eTelcharge as its core business.  eTelcharge believes its first mover advantage is, however, subject to being eroded, and eTelcharge expects to need to continue to be aggressive in its marketing efforts.  The two main competitors to eTelcharge are BSG, Inc. of San Antonio, TX and PaymentOne, Inc. of San Jose, CA.  There can be no assurance that competitors will not develop software in the future that will allow them to include the same or similar products and services for online purchasing.  GOVERNMENT REGULATION  eTelcharge is not directly regulated by any governmental agencies nor is it subject to statutes, rules or regulations, which regulate the manner in which it does business. However, eTelcharges online merchants are subject to numerous governmental regulations required of merchants in general such as truth in advertising requirements, product safety and the like. eTelcharge does not believe that it would be held liable for violations by its merchants of any such government regulations or with respect to disputes between its merchants and online customers. Nevertheless, it may be named in such proceedings; in which case, it could be required to expend substantial fees in defending itself and could be liable for substantial money judgments.  EMPLOYEES  As of April 13, 2009 eTelcharge has 1 full-time employee and 1 part-time employee.  Risk Factors  An investment in shares of our common stock involves various risks.  Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in conjunction with the other information in this Form 10-KSB, including the items included as exhibits.  Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed by any of the following risks or by other risks that have not been identified or that we may believe are immaterial or unlikely.  The value or market price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.  The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.  Risks related to our operations  Our auditors have expressed doubt about, and their opinion contains an explanatory paragraph regarding, our ability to continue as a going concern.  If we do not generate substantial revenue from our operations and are also unable to obtain capital from other sources, we will significantly curtail our operations or halt them entirely.  Historically, we have been dependent on financings to fund our development and working capital needs.  As of December 31, 2008, we had no cash or cash equivalents.    We do not expect to generate significant revenues from customers in the immediate future.  Accordingly, if we do not raise additional funds from other sources, we would have to continue to severely diminish our operations or halt them entirely.  Additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.  We have experienced relatively large losses during our development and, without significant increases in the market penetration of our services and improvements to our operating margins, we will not achieve profitability.  Since inception, we have incurred significant net losses as set forth in the financial information included elsewhere in this report.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for at least the short-term.  We will not achieve profitable operations until we successfully attract and retain a significant number of customers for our services and generate revenues from these sources that are sufficient to offset the substantial up-front expenditures and operating costs associated with developing and commercializing our services.  We may never be able to accomplish these objectives.       -4-    It will be difficult for you to evaluate us based on our past performance because we are a relatively new company with a limited operating history.  eTelcharge is currently a development stage company and, accordingly, has only limited financial results on which you can evaluate eTelcharge and operations.  We are subject to, and have not been successful in addressing, the risks typically encountered by new enterprises and companies operating in the merchant services industry, including those risks relating to:  ·the failure to develop brand name recognition and reputation;   ·the failure to achieve market acceptance of our services;   ·an inability to grow and adapt our business and technology to evolving consumer demand.  Because of our small size, our management may be unable to successfully manage our business.  In order to successfully execute our business plan, our management must succeed in all of the following critical areas:  ·Developing and maintaining our current products and services;   ·Marketing and selling our products and services;   ·Obtaining additional capital for development, maintenance, and marketing of our products and services; and   ·Managing our business as it grows.  We currently have only two employees, one who is full time and one is part time.  The greatest burden of succeeding in the above areas, therefore, falls on our Board of Directors and these two executive officers.  Focusing on any one of these areas may divert their attention from our other areas of concern and could affect our ability to manage other aspects of our business.  We cannot assure you that our management will be able to succeed in all of these areas or, even if we do so succeed, that our business will be successful as a result.  Our small size and limited operating history may make it difficult for us to attract and retain employees, which could further divert managements attention from the operation of our business.  We Rely Upon Key Personnel.  Our success will depend, to a great extent, upon the experience, abilities and continued services of our executive officers.  If we lose the services of our executive officers, our business could be harmed.  Our success also will depend upon our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified managerial, technology, and sales personnel and their ability to develop and maintain strategic relationships.  We may not be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel.  Our inability to maintain our current, and establish new, strategic relationships could impair our revenue growth.  In accordance with our business model, we plan and have entered into strategic relationships in order to facilitate or accelerate our penetration into the merchant service market.  The termination of our relationship with AT&T or our failure to develop additional strategic relationships in the future may limit our ability to develop markets or to sell our services, and thereby impair our revenue growth.  Our ability to compete depends on our continuing right to use, and our ability to protect, our intellectual property rights.  Our success and ability to compete depend in large part on using our intellectual property and proprietary rights to protect the technology we use and the products we make.  We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret law, as well as confidentiality agreements and other contractual relationships with our employees, customers, affiliates, distributors and others to protect our intellectual property rights.  The measures we have taken to protect our technology and products may not be sufficient to prevent their misappropriation by third parties or independent development by others of similar technologies or products.  In order to protect our technology and products and enforce our proprietary rights, we may need to initiate litigation against third parties.  These legal and administrative proceedings could be expensive and occupy significant management time and resources.  -5-    Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others.  It is not possible to know with certainty whether the development or sale of our products and services or other intellectual property includes rights owned by third parties.  There may, for example, be patent applications pending at the moment, which if granted, may cover products that we have just developed or are developing.  In certain other jurisdictions there is no publication of the subject matter of patents until the patents are issued.  Third parties may from time to time claim that our current or future products infringe their patent or other intellectual property rights.  Any intellectual property claim could involve time-consuming and disruptive litigation and, if determined adversely to us, could prevent us from selling our products and services, and subject us to substantial monetary damages or require us to seek licenses.  Our shares of common stock are considered a penny stock, and any investment in our shares will be considered a high-risk investment and be subject to restrictions on marketability.  Since the price of our shares is below $5.00, our common shares are deemed to be penny stock for the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).  Brokers effecting transactions in a penny stock are subject to additional customer disclosure and record keeping obligations.  The additional obligations include disclosure of the risks associated with low price stocks, stock quote information and broker compensation.  In addition, brokers making transactions in penny stocks are subject to additional sales practice requirements under the Exchange Act.  These additional requirements include making inquiries into the suitability of penny stock investments for each customer or obtaining the prior written agreement of the customer for the penny stock purchase.  These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of our investors to sell their shares.  Some brokers will not effect transactions in our securities.  In addition, because our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of the stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.  Our stock price is likely to be volatile.  There is generally significant volatility in the market prices and limited liquidity of securities of early stage companies.  Contributing to this volatility are various events that can affect our stock price in a positive or negative manner.  These events include, but are not limited to: market acceptance and sales growth of our products; litigation involving eTelcharge or our industry; developments or disputes concerning our proprietary rights; departure of key personnel; future sales of our securities; fluctuations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; investors general perception of us; and general economic, industry and market conditions. If any of these events occur, it could cause our stock price to fall.  Our stockholders could experience dilution of their ownership interest if we issue more shares that are purchased by third parties.  Under Nevada law, stockholders in public companies such as the registrant do not have preemptive rights.  This means that our stockholders do not have the legal right to purchase shares in a new issue before they are offered to third parties.  In addition, our board of directors may approve the issuance of shares in many instances without stockholder approval.  As a result, our stockholders could experience dilution of their ownership interest if we decide to raise additional funds by issuing more shares and these shares are purchased by third parties.  We may be unable to maintain an effective system of internal controls and accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which may cause our current and potential stockholders to lose confidence in our financial reporting and adversely impact our business and our ability to raise additional funds in the future.  Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial statements and effectively prevent fraud.   As disclosed elsewhere in the annual report, management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, and has determined that it is not effective as the result of a lack of segregation of duties and lack of formal financial reporting procedures.  If we cannot provide reliable financial statements or prevent fraud, our operating results and our reputation could be harmed as a result, causing stockholders and/or prospective investors to lose confidence in management and making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital in the future.  We failed to make certain Exchange Act filings.  We previously determined and announced that certain Information Statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act, in connection with certain actions taken by written consent of our stockholders in 2000, 2005 and 2007, were not so filed.  As a result of this non-compliance, we may be subject to civil and administrative proceedings brought by the SEC, which may include the possible imposition of monetary penalties.      -6-   Item 2.  Description of Property.  In February, 2009 eTelcharge moved to 124 Loftin Street, Suite 600, Cedar Hill, Texas 75104, where we lease 110 square feet of office space. The rent is $110 per month on a month to month agreement.  Prior to that, eTelcharge leased 3,000 square feet of office space on a three-year lease expiring January 31, 2010 at 1636 N. Hampton Road, Suite 270, DeSoto, Texas 75115.  The base rent was $4,098 per month.  In February, 2009, the landlord confiscated the office furniture and and some equipment of eTelcharge in exchange for past and future unpaid rent.  We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current level of operations. Our management believes that the leased property is adequately covered by insurance.   Item 3. Legal Proceedings  On February 2, 2009, the Company was named a defendant in a suit brought by Golden State Equity Investors (formerly known as Golden Gate Investors, Inc.) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, COMPLAINT FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT concerning that certain Debenture, Securities Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note by and between Golden Gate Investors, Inc. and the Company dated December 27, 2007.  The suit alleges the Company is in default of the agreement and seeks damages in the amount of $630,184.46, costs of suit incurred and attorneys' fees.There has been no action on the suit since it was filed.  The Company intends to vigorously defend the suit and asserts that the secured promissory note receivable dated December 27, 2007 from Golden Gate Investors, Inc. to the Company is in default.  It is the opinion of management this it is too early to make a determination of the outcome of the suit.  Therefore, no additional liability has been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies.  The Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien dated October 1, 2008 in the amount of $30,779.64  Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.  No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K to a vote of eTelcharges security holders.   PART II.  Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.  Market Information  Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol ETLC.  The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities.  OTCBB securities are traded by a community of market makers that enter quotes and trade reports.  This market is extremely limited and any prices quoted may not be a reliable indication of the value of our common stock.  The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB.  These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

We anticipate all earnings, if any, over the next 12 to 24 months will be retained for future investments in business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. We are under no collateral restrictions in declaring or paying dividends to our common stockholders. There are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, eTelcharges ability to pay dividends on our securities, except for any applicable limitations under Nevada corporate law.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities  As described in the chart below, the Company issued to three accredited investors shares of its common stock (Common Stock), par value $.003 per share, for cash.  These shares were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption afforded by the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Rule 506 promulgated there under, based on the fact that the issued shares were not sold or offered pursuant to general solicitation, and in reliance upon the representations of such investors as to such investors status as an accredited investor and investment experience, that such investor had access to information about the Company, that such investor was purchasing such securities for its own account and not with a view to resale or distribution or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act and an acknowledgement by such investor that resale of such securities may not be made unless registered under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration is available.  In addition, such shares bear a legend indicating such restrictions on transferability.

These shares were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption afforded by the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, based on the fact that the issued shares were not sold or offered pursuant to general solicitation, and that the consultants had sufficient sophistication and access to information about eTelcharge.  In addition, such shares bear a legend indicating such restrictions on transferability.

Under the purchase agreement, eTelcharge issued to GGI a debenture, convertible into eTelcharges common stock, in the amount of $1.5 million (the Debenture).  GGI paid for the debenture by delivering a cash payment of $200,000 and a note for $1.3 million from GGI to eTelcharge.  At any time, GGI may convert a portion of the Debenture equal to the amount of cash paid to eTelcharge on the initial issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to payments made under the note from GGI, into common stock at a conversion price equal the lesser of $0.50 per share or the three lowest Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAP) of eTelcharges common stock during the 20 trading days preceding the election to convert.  The Debenture further provides for eTelcharge to have the right, but not the obligation, to choose to prepay any portion of the Debenture that the holder has elected to convert, for an amount equal to 120% of such amount, when the VWAP is below $0.05 per share.  The Debenture also provides that the holder may not exercise the conversion privilege to the extent that it would acquire beneficial ownership of eTelcharges common stock of more than 4.99%, which may be increased to 9.99% on not less than 61 days prior notice, or such limitation may be removed entirely on 61 days prior notice by the holder. -8-   During 2008, the following conversions were made:  DateNumber of Shares IssuedValue of Debenture Converted ($) ($)July 7, 2008606,79610,000July 9, 20081,213,59220,000July 18, 2008431,0345,000July 21, 2008446,4295,000July 24, 2008460,6605,000July  25, 2008921,3110,000July 29, 20082,005,21420,000   Additionally, at December 31, 2008, GGI has requested conversion of $10,000 (2,435,460 shares) which the Company has not granted. Under the Purchase Agreement, GGI is required to purchase up to three additional debentures, each in the amount of $1.5 million, on terms analogous to the Debenture, upon satisfaction of the requirement that the Debenture, and each succeeding debenture which has been issued subsequent to the Debenture, has no more than $250,000 outstanding, i.e., the requirement arises when the prior debenture has been converted or otherwise redeemed so that no more than $250,000 is outstanding.  GGI has the right to eliminate its obligations to purchase each of the three additional debentures by a payment of $100,000. GGI failed to make the required payments from August 15, 2008 through the current date.  Additionally, GGI did not make the monthly interest payment due from October 1st  through the current date, nor did eTelcharge.com make interest payments to GGI from September 15th through the current date.  (See Part I Item 3 Legal Proceedingsfor more information.)  The promissory note delivered by GGI to pay for the Debenture bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable at maturity, January 31, 2012, with interest payable monthly.  Interest on the Principal Amount of the Debenture is also payable monthly, at the rate of 7 3⁄4% per annum in cash, or at the option of the holder, in shares of eTelcharges common stock valued at the then applicable conversion price.  The maturity date of the Debenture is December 26, 2011.  The Debenture provides for various events of default, such as failure to pay principal or interest when due, if it is determined that any representations warranties or covenants made in the Purchase Agreement or other related documents were false or misleading, certain insolvency conditions, if eTelcharges common stock is no longer traded, if eTelcharge fails to file required reports under the securities laws, if eTelcharge defaults on any indebtedness exceeding $100,000, or if the VWAP of the common shares is $0.01 per share or less during the term of the Debenture.  In such event, the Debenture holder would have the right to accelerate amounts due under the Debenture and require immediate redemption of the Principal Amount of the Debenture, at 120% of such amount, or 110% in the case of the default relating solely to the VWAP of the common shares being $0.01 or less.  The Debenture is secured by a pledge of 3,000,000 shares of common stock provided by Rodney Wagner, a stockholder of eTelcharge.  The promissory note issued by GGI is secured by all of the assets of GGI.  The Debenture (including the right to convert into common shares), were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption afforded by the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, based on the fact that the Debenture and the shares issuable upon conversion thereof were not sold or offered pursuant to general solicitation, and in reliance upon the representation of GGI as to its status as an accredited investor, that it was purchasing such securities for its own account and not with a view to resale or distribution or any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act and an acknowledgement by GGI that resale of such securities may not be made unless registered under the 1933 Act or another exemption is available.  In addition, such securities bear a legend indicating such restrictions on transferability.    Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.  Our financial statements and related notes, which are included in this filing, provide additional information relating to the following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations over the last two fiscal years.  Managements discussion and Analysis contains various forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act, regarding future events or the future financial performance of eTelcharge that involve risk and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-K, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words such as  anticipates, believes, plans, expects, continue, will, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward- looking statements regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operations, business strategy, operation results and financial position. We caution readers that a variety of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other matters expressed in forward-looking statements.   -9-   Overview  eTelcharge was incorporated in Nevada in June 1999 to provide customers of online merchants the ability to charge their online purchases to their local telephone bill. In May of 2003, eTelcharge expanded its service by offering credit card processing for merchants and becoming a merchant service company.  eTelcharge has worked closely with the changes in service offerings of the telco operators in the US throughout its history.  As those offerings have changed, eTelcharge has sought to adapt its offerings to match the requirements of the telcos.  eTelcharge has endeavored to operate by selling its services to consumers and merchants making a profit on the transaction processing fees generated at the point of sale.  eTelcharge entered into an agreement with AT&T in February of 2006 for provision of billing and collection services which was amended in April 2006, and which allows it to process, subject to AT&Ts prior approval, non-credit card transactions for AT&T customers and have those transactions applied to their AT&T land-line telephone bills.  Under the April 2006 amendment, eTelcharge and AT&T entered into a trial of billing information and  entertainment type charges on the AT&T Telco End User monthly bill.  eTelcharge launched its new Version 2.0 software and procedures to the public in September 2007, and it continues to refine and extend its services under that Version.  eTelcharge will continue to promote consumer awareness of its brand and offers through the issuance of press releases to related trade publications, general interest media publications, print media and Internet media.   Results of Operations  Revenues  We are a development stage company and, as such, have generated nominal revenues.  Revenues were $59,064 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $44,170 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a 34%  increase.  This increase is due to more residual income caused by an increase in the transactions processed by our credit card merchants.   We have generated $157,176 in revenue since our inception.  Operating Expenses  Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $2,106,775 a decrease of $536,568, or 20%, as compared to $2,643,343 for fiscal 2007.  The decrease primarily relates to a decrease in the non-cash charges associated with the issuance of common stock and stock options for services of approximately $948,000 and a decrease in IRS penalties of $97,000 partially offset by an increase in professional fees of approximately $221,000 and an increase in compensation of approximately $342,000.  Net Loss  eTelcharge had a net loss of $1,935,540 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $989,064, or 34%, as compared to a net loss of $2,924,604 for 2007.  The decreased loss primarily resulted from a decrease in the operating expenses as discussed above and a 2007 loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $294,000.  Since inception, we have incurred a cumulative net loss of $17,605,904.  Our ability to operate profitably depends on generating sales and achieving sufficient gross profit margins.  We cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations in the future.  Financial Condition  The following table sets forth certain relevant measures of our liquidity and capital resources:  Year ended December 31, 2008Cash and cash equivalents$0Current Assets$1,111Current liabilities$1,204,209Ratio of current assets to current liabilities.00Stockholders deficit per common share.0036      -10-        At December 31, 2008, we had no cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $230,227, as compared to $230,227 at December 31, 2007.  This decrease resulted from an increase in cash used in operating activities and a decrease in cash provided by financing activities.  Total cash proceeds, net of offering costs, for financing activities was $492,714 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $221,666, or 31%, as compared to $714,380 for 2007.  The funds generated from financing activities during fiscal 2008 were used mainly to fund operating expenses.Total cash proceeds, net of offering costs, for financing activities is $2,892,252 for the period from inception through December 31, 2008.  Our current liabilities increased from $454,800 at December 31, 2007 to $1,204,209 at December 31, 2008, an increase of 265%, primarily due to legal fees incurred by the company during the year that were not paid at December 31, 2008.  Historically, we have been dependent on financings to fund our development and working capital needs.  We do not expect to generate significant revenues from customers in the immediate future.  We believe our existing capital resources will not be sufficient to provide needed capital for three months..  Accordingly, if we do not raise additional funds from other sources, we would have to continue to severely diminish our operations or halt them entirely.  Additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.  Due to our lack of capital and our need for working capital to continue our business plan, our independent registered public accountants issued a going concern qualification as part of their audit opinion of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.  OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS  None.                                       -11-       Item 8.   Financial Statements.

Cedar Hill, Texas  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of eTelcharge.com, Inc. (the Company) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficit and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from June 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of eTelcharge.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from June 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has incurred continuing losses, both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  /s/ Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. Dallas, Texas April 14, 2009  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  To The Board of Directors eTelcharge.com, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) Desoto, Texas  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of eTelcharge.com, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of eTelcharge.com, Inc.s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. eTelcharge is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of eTelcharges internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of eTelcharge.com, Inc., as of December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that eTelcharge.com, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, eTelcharge.com, Inc. suffered recurring losses and has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  /s/ Malone & Bailey, PC www.malone-bailey.com Houston, Texas March 28, 2008 F2   eTELCHARGE.COM

As of December 31, 2008, eTelcharge has not commenced significant operations. eTelcharge is in the process of raising financing to fund future operations and marketing of its product to target customers. As such, eTelcharge is considered to be in the development stage.  Use of Estimates and Assumptions  Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.  Cash and Cash Equivalents  eTelcharge considers cash in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.  Property and Equipment  Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated lives of three to five years.  Expenditures that increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  eTelcharge reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  eTelcharge assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value.  There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the year ending December 31, 2008.  Derivative Instruments  Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) established financial accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  These derivatives, including embedded derivatives in our structured borrowings, are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.  The pricing model we use for determining fair values of our derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates, exchange rates and option volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves managements judgment and may impact net income.  In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF 00-19"), which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company's own stock, including warrants to purchase common stock, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a companys balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in eTelcharges results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are required.           F10  Convertible Notes - Derivative Financial Instruments  eTelcharges 7.75% convertible debenture (the Debenture) issued to Golden Gate Investors (GGI) on December 28, 2007 is subject to derivative accounting under SFAS 133 and EITF No. 00-19.  eTelcharge has identified that the Golden Gate debenture contains more than one embedded derivative feature which SFAS 133 requires be accounted for as derivatives.  The derivative features that have been bundled together in the compound embedded derivative include: (1) the conversion feature of the debenture; (2) the put options to redeem the debenture after an event of default or failure to deliver stock; and (3) the call option to prepay the debenture subsequent to a conversion request and the VWAP is below $0.05. These embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from the host debt contract and accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19.  When multiple derivatives exist within the Convertible Notes, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Derivatives Implementation Group Implementation Issue No. B-15, "Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument."  A model was developed that values the compound embedded derivatives within the Debenture.  The embedded derivatives are valued using a lattice model which incorporates a probability weighted discounted cash flow methodology.  This model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes.  The model analyzed the underlying economic factors that influenced which likely events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. interest rates, stock price, conversion price, etc.).  The primary factors driving the economic value of the embedded derivatives are stock price, stock volatility, whether eTelcharge has obtained a timely registration, an event of default, and the likelihood of obtaining alternative financing.  The derivative liabilities result in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the Debenture.  The embedded derivatives within the Debenture have been recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and are marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded to eTelcharge's income statement as "Net change in fair value of derivative liabilities."  Unamortized discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Debenture.  If the Debenture is converted, the derivative liability is released and recorded as additional paid in capital. eTelcharge has utilized a third party valuation firm to fair value the embedded derivatives using a lattice model with layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow methods.  The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of eTelcharge's common stock, as well as other factors.  As a result, eTelcharge's financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of eTelcharge's stock at the balance sheet date and the amount of shares converted by note holders. Consequently, our financial position and results of operations may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than our operating revenues and expenses.  Income Taxes  eTelcharge accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed periodically for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Revenue Recognition  eTelcharge recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Non-refundable, one-time processing fee revenue from online merchants will be recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the online merchant agreement. Billing fee and service charge revenue from online merchants is recognized as online purchases from customers are processed and typically ranges from 3% to 4% of the purchase price, plus $0.15 to $0.25 per transaction and will be non-refundable. Customer fee revenue is recognized upon shipment by the online merchant to the customer, typically between 5% to 10% of the purchase price, and is refundable should the merchant approve a customer dispute. All funds will be remitted directly to eTelcharge. eTelcharge expects to enter into 2 to 3 year agreements with merchants. The direct costs of providing these services include a transaction charge by the carrier.  Stock-Based Compensation  eTelcharge issues restricted common stock as compensation to employees and outside consultants for services rendered. These shares are recorded at the fair value of the freely trading unrestricted common stock as measured on the date or dates the services were rendered.       F11  eTelcharge adopted the disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS No. 123) and FAS No. 148 with respect to pro forma disclosure of compensation expense for options issued. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Effective January 1, 2006, eTelcharge adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R generally requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of stock options, or other equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. This cost is recognized over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period. Prior to January 2006, eTelcharge accounted for employee stock option grants in accordance with APB No. 25, and had adopted only the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  eTelcharge issued 800,000 options to purchase shares during the year ended December 31, 2008, 3,600,000 options to purchase shares were cancelled and an additional 2,200,000 options to purchase shares were forfeited.  At December 31, 2008 options to purchase 20,010,000 shares are vested.  Net Loss Per Share  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share includes the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents on an as if converted basis.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  eTelcharge does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on eTelcharges results of operations, financial position or cash flow.  NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, eTelcharge incurred a net loss of $ 1,935,540 for the year ended December 31, 2008, has an accumulated deficit of $17,605,904 and a working capital deficit of $1,203,098.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to eTelcharge's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is trying to raise additional capital through financing and further development and marketing of its products and services in order to generate revenue.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if eTelcharge is unable to continue as a going concern.    NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT  Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2008:  DescriptionLifeAmountComputer equipment3-5 years$29,430Office furniture and equipment5 years4,08233,512Less: accumulated depreciation(12,078)$21,434  Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method and totaled $7,528 and $4,024 in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.  NOTE 4 - ACCRUED COMPENSATION  During the year ended December 31, 2008, eTelcharge issued 9,596,070 shares of common stock valued at $489,212 to employees and consultants for services rendered.  Of the total amount issued, $395,778 was for current period services and $93,435 was for services performed in prior periods and was accrued at December 31, 2007.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company accrued $232,813 payable in cash and $20,596 payable in 2,350,000 shares of common stock for compensation for services rendered to the Company.          F12  NOTE 5 - PAYROLL TAX OBLIGATION During 2007, the Company remitted previously unpaid Federal and State employer and employee payroll taxes for the years 2001 through mid-2007. In March 2008, the Company received an abatement of penalties on this obligation and, as a result, wrote-off accrued penalties of $68,026.  The Company has recorded accrued interest from the date the taxes were due, through the date the taxes were paid. The total amount recorded for this obligation at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $40,000 and $108,026, respectively.   In November 2008, the IRS filed a lien on all property and rights to property belonging to eTelcharge.com for the amount of this interest.  NOTE 6  STOCK OPTIONS As of December 31, 2008, there were 20,010,000 options outstanding, all of which were vested.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the compensation expense for stock options was $173,350.   There were no stock options exercised during fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. On July 24, 2008, 3,600,000 options were cancelled.  On the same date, the Board of Directors approved issuing the same number of options, at the current stock price, under a new stock compensation plan, contingent upon approval of the plan by the companys shareholders.  The shareholders have not yet voted to approve this plan.  Stock Option Activity The following is a summary of all stock option transactions for the year ended December 31, 2008: Outstanding at December 31, 200725,010,000Granted at market price800,000Cancelled or expired(5,800,000)Exercised-Outstanding at December 31, 200820,010,000  At December 31, 2008, the Company had no stock options outstanding for which the exercise price was lower than the market value of the Companys common stock.  NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVES On December 28, 2007, eTelcharge entered into a securities purchase agreement with Golden Gate Investors (GGI).  Under the purchase agreement, eTelcharge issued to GGI a debenture (the Debenture), convertible into eTelcharges common stock, in the amount of $1.5 million.  GGI paid for the debenture by delivering a cash payment of $200,000 and a note for $1.3 million from GGI to eTelcharge.  At any time, GGI may convert a portion of the Debenture equal to the amount of cash paid to eTelcharge on the initial issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to payments made under the note from GGI, into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.50 per share or 80% of the three lowest Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAP) of eTelcharges common stock during the 20 trading days preceding the election to convert.  In July 2008, the Company borrowed another $250,000 under the Purchase Agreement.  During the period of June 27, 2008 through August 15, 2008 GGI converted a total of $110,000 of principal, leaving a net principal balance of $340,000 as of December 31, 2008.    At December 31, 2008, GGI has requested conversion of $10,000 (2,435,460 shares) which the Company has not granted. The Debenture further provides for eTelcharge to have the right, but not the obligation, to choose to prepay any portion of the Debenture that the holder has elected to convert, for an amount equal to 120% of such amount, when the VWAP is below $0.05 per share.  The Debenture also provides that the holder may not exercise the conversion privilege to the extent that it would acquire beneficial ownership of eTelcharges common stock of more than 4.99%, which may be increased to 9.99% on not less than 61 days prior notice, or such limitation may be removed entirely on 61 days prior notice by the holder. Under the Purchase Agreement, GGI is required to purchase up to three additional debentures, each in the amount of $1.5 million, on terms analogous to the Debenture, upon satisfaction of the requirement that the Debenture, and each succeeding debenture which has been issued subsequent to the Debenture, has no more than $250,000 outstanding, i.e., the requirement arises when the prior debenture has been converted or otherwise redeemed so that no more than $250,000 is outstanding.  GGI has the right to eliminate its obligations to purchase each of the three additional debentures by a payment of $100,000. The promissory note delivered by GGI to pay for the Debenture requires GGI to pay $250,000 per month beginning July 15, 2008, and bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable at maturity, January 31, 2012, with interest payable to eTelcharge monthly.  Interest on the Principal Amount of the Debenture is also payable monthly to GGI, at the rate of 7.75% per annum in cash, or at the option of the holder, in shares of eTelcharges common stock valued at the then applicable conversion price.  The maturity date of the Debenture is December 26, 2011. GGI failed to make the required payments from August 15, 2008 through the current date.  Additionally, GGI did not make the monthly interest payment due from October 1st through the current date.      F13  The Debenture provides for various events of default, such as failure to pay principal or interest when due, if it is determined that any representations warranties or covenants made in the Purchase Agreement or other related documents were false or misleading, certain insolvency conditions, if eTelcharges common stock is no longer traded, if eTelcharge fails to file required reports under the securities laws, if eTelcharge defaults on any indebtedness exceeding $100,000, or if the VWAP of the common shares is $0.01 per share or less during the term of the Debenture.  In such event, the Debenture holder would have the right to accelerate amounts due under the Debenture and require immediate redemption of the Principal Amount of the Debenture, at 120% of such amount, or 110% in the case of the default relating solely to the VWAP of the common shares being $0.01 or less.  The Debenture is secured by a pledge of 3,000,000 shares of common stock provided by a stockholder of eTelcharge.  The promissory note issued by GGI is secured by all of the assets of GGI. eTelcharge has identified that the Debenture contains more than one embedded derivative feature which SFAS 133 requires to be accounted for as derivatives.  The derivative features that have been bundled together in the compound embedded derivative include: (1) the conversion feature of the debenture; (2) the put options to redeem the debenture after an event of default or failure to deliver stock; and (3) the call option to prepay the debenture subsequent to a conversion request when the VWAP is below $0.05. These embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from the host debt contract and accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19.  Since multiple derivatives exist within the Debenture, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Derivatives Implementation Group Implementation Issue No. B-15.  The value of the compound embedded derivative liability was bifurcated from the debenture and recorded as a derivative liability, which results in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the related debenture at inception. The impact of the application of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 28, 2007, the date of the agreement, was as follows:  December 31,
2008December 31,

Lattice Valuation Model eTelcharge valued the compound embedded derivative features in the 2007 Debenture using a Lattice Model. The lattice model values the compound embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections of the five primary alternatives possible for settlement of the features included within the compound embedded derivative, including: (1) payments are made in cash, (2) payments are made in stock, (3) the holder exercises its right to convert the debenture, (4) eTelcharge exercises its right to convert the debenture and (5) eTelcharge defaults on the debenture. eTelcharge uses the model to analyze (a) the underlying economic factors that influence which of these events will occur, (b) when they are likely to occur, and (c) the common stock price and specific terms of the debenture such as interest rate and conversion price that will be in effect when they occur. Based on the analysis of these factors, eTelcharge uses the model to develop a set of potential scenarios. Probabilities of each scenario occurring during the remaining term of the debenture are determined based on managements projections. These probabilities are used to create a cash flow projection over the term of the debenture and determine the probability that the projected cash flow would be achieved. A discounted weighted average cash flow for each scenario is then calculated and compared to the discounted cash flow of the debenture without the compound embedded derivative in order to determine a value for the compound embedded derivative.  The primary determinants of the economic value of a compound embedded derivative under the lattice model are (1) the price of eTelcharge's common stock, (2) the volatility of eTelcharge's common stock price, (3) the likelihood that eTelcharge will be required to pay registration delay expenses, (4) the likelihood that an event of default or a change in control will occur, (5) the likelihood that the conversion price will be adjusted, (6) the likelihood that eTelcharge's common stock will be listed on an exchange, (7) the likelihood that eTelcharge will be able to obtain alternative financing and (8) the likelihood that eTelcharge would be able to force conversion of the debenture.     F14  The fair value of the compound derivative embedded in the Debenture as of December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 28, 2007 determined using the lattice valuation model was based on the following management assumptions:  December 31,
2008December 31,
2007December 28,
2007Assumptions:The price of the eTelcharges common stock would increase at a rate commensurate with the cost of equity, with a volatility of:220%142%142%Percent likelihood that an event of default or a fundamental change would occur, increasing over time:5%5%5%eTelcharge would redeem the Debenture if eTelcharges common stock price is below (starting at 0% increasing 2% per month to a maximum of 90%):$0.15$0.05$0.05  Based on these management assumptions, the fair value of the embedded derivative as of December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 28, 2007 was calculated by management to be $127,976, $144,643 and $144,845, respectively. All of the above assumptions are reviewed quarterly and are subject to change based primarily on managements assessment of the probability of the events described occurring. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation.  Fair Value Measurements  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).  SFAS 157 introduces a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and the Company has adopted the standard for those assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008 and the impact of adoption was not significant.  At December 31, 2008, the Companys derivative liability of $47,076  is carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis.  The fair value is determined based on Level 2 inputs as defined in the valuation hierarchy of SFAS 157.  Accordingly, the Company considers the financial assets and liabilities as reported in the Companys financial statements to approximate their respective fair value.  In February 2008, the FASB decided that an entity need not apply this standard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until the subsequent year.   The Company continues to evaluate this standard with respect to its effect on nonfinancial assets and liabilities, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.  In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. The fair value option permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates. The adoption of SFAS 159 in first quarter 2008 by the Company had no impact on the financial statements.  NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES  eTelcharge uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. eTelcharge has incurred significant net losses in past years and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate relates to the valuation allowance applied against the deferred tax assets generated from net operating losses. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $5,100,000 at December 31, 2008, and will expire in the years 2020 through 2028.  At December 31, 2008, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:  December 31,

The suit alleges the Company is in default of the agreement and seeks damages in the amount of $630,184.46, costs of suit incurred and attorneys' fees.There has been no action on the suit since it was filed.  The Company intends to vigorously defend the suit and asserts that the secured promissory note receivable dated December 27, 2007 from Golden Gate Investors, Inc. to the Company is in default.  It is the opinion of management this it is too early to make a determination of the outcome of the suit.  Therefore, no additional liability has been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies.  The Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien dated October 1, 2008 in the amount of $30,779.64  On July 24, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a stock grant of 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Robert Howe, CEO.  Additionally the Board of Directors approved a twelve month consulting agreement for 19,500,000 shares.  Both of these are contingent upon the shareholders approval of an increase in the authorized number of shares of the Companys common stock to 3 billion shares.  eTelcharge has several agreements with employees and consultants that require eTelcharge to issue shares of common stock if the agreements are fulfilled by the employees and consultants.  At December 31, 2008, eTelcharge will be required to issue up to approximately 4,300,000 shares of common stock over the next 12 months under existing agreements.  eTelcharge is obligated to issue 10,000 shares of common stock to each director each year for director services provided to eTelcharge.  eTelcharge typically has four directors.  In February 2007, eTelcharge entered into a modified lease agreement extending the lease expiration to January 2010. The base rent under this agreement was $4,098 per month.  Under this lease, future minimum lease commitments at December 31, 2008 are as follows:  2009$49,1762010$4,098  Rent expense totaled approximately $42,256 and $50,416 for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In February 2009, eTelcharge and its landlord entered into an agreement whereby eTelcharge no longer leases the space referred to above.  In exchange for releasing eTelcharge from its lease, the landlord retained most of the furniture and equipment in the office space.  The company now rents another space on a month to month basis for $100 per month.

Of the total amount issued, $395,778 was for current period services and $93,435 was for services performed in prior periods and was accrued at December 31, 2007.   F16    Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure  The Company engaged Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. (TS) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2008, on March 23, 2009. On April 12, 2008, the Company engaged the Accounting firm of Whitley Penn LLP (WP). While WP performed accounting services including reviewing the Companys quarterly financial reporting, it did not perform an audit.  During the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and through March 23, 2009, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with TS with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that TS concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).  In connection with the selection of TS, on March 23, 2009 the Audit Committee decided not to continue the engagement of WP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The Company dismissed WP on March 23, 2009. The company had previously dismissed Malone and Bailey PC as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm on April 12, 2008. The reports of M&B on the Companys financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The reports did include an explanatory paragraph regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  During the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and through March 23, 2009, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with M&B or WP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of M&B or WP, would have caused M&B or WP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such years.   Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures  As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008, we concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  The management of eTelcharge is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The internal control process has been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of eTelcharges financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of eTelcharges internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a companys internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.  Based on this assessment, management has determined that eTelcharges internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 was not effective.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of eTelcharge; and (3) unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of eTelcharges assets that could have a material affect on eTelcharges financial statements are prevented or timely detected.  12  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Identified Material Weaknesses and Managements Remediation Initiatives  A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level of risk the risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Management identified the following internal control deficiencies during its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, that they considered to be, in the aggregate, a material weakness:  Lack of segregation of duties.  Due to our small employee base, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties.  There were only 3 employees at 12/31/08, including our CEO and CFO, who are involved in the processing of transactions.  While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, budgetary considerations have not allowed the addition of more full time staff.  There is no certainty additional staff can be successfully hired.  As a result, this significant internal control deficiency has not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, nor do we believe we will be able to remediate this weakness during the upcoming quarter or year.  If we are unable to remediate the identified material weaknesses, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our SEC reports will not be prevented or detected, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital and could also have an adverse effect on our stock price.  Notwithstanding the material weaknesses identified by management, we believe that the financial statements and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operation and cash flows of eTelcharge as of, and for, the periods represented in this report.  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  Auditor Attestation  This annual report does not include an attestation report of eTelcharge's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by eTelcharge's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit eTelcharge to provide only management's report in this annual report.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures  As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008, we concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  Item 9B. Other Information.  There was no information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this Form 10-K, but not reported.          13        PART III  OTHER INFORMATION  Item 10.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance  Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires our directors and executive officers, as well as persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities (each, a "Reporting Person"), to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership.  Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  No individual or entity who was a Reporting Person at any time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed any such reports.  The chart below provides detail as to the delinquent reports.  14   Code of Ethics  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (who is also our principal accounting officer) (Officers), are required to abide by our Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Officers (Code of Ethics) to ensure that our business is conducted in a consistently legal and ethical manner.   Audit Committee  The entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee and oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements; we do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation  S-B.  Since we are in the development stage and do not have substantial operations, it is difficult to attract Board members who have the relevant experience.  Stockholder Recommendations of Board Nominees  We have not adopted any procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.   Item 11. Executive Compensation  Compensation of Named Executive Officers  The following table sets forth the compensation paid during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 to our Chief Executive Officer, our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our CEO, and our former Chief Executive Officer who served during this time period (the Named Executive Officers).

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.  eTelcharge entered into a Separation and Release Agreement with Carl Sherman, eTelcharges former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Michelle Sherman, eTelcharges former Secretary and a former director, which became effective on December 24, 2007.  The Shermans are husband and wife.  eTelcharge paid $25,000 to the Shermans in connection with this agreement.  The Shermans agreed to release eTelcharge from any obligation to them, including the forgiveness of outstanding indebtedness in the amount of approximately $336,279.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Shermans also agreed to a five-year non-competition agreement and to indemnify eTelcharge for any undisclosed liabilities that they may have incurred on behalf of eTelcharge.  During fiscal 2007, eTelcharge paid to Ms. Sherman an aggregate of $5,500 as compensation for services as Secretary and a director of eTelcharge through her resignation.  One of our directors, Roger Wagner, is the brother of Rodney Wagner, to whom eTelcharge issued an aggregate of 14,398,333 shares of Common Stock for $205,100 in cash pursuant to subscription agreements during fiscal 2008.  Rodney Wagner is also a party to three consulting agreements with eTelcharge, as follows:  Under the terms of the twelve month Marketing Consulting Contract dated May 16, 2008, Mr. Wagner provides information and media via a web-based forum communicating eTelcharges messages through audio and video news content to the business, financial and investing community in exchange for an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock payable in four equal quarterly installments.  This contract is a renewal of the twelve month Marketing Consulting Contract dated May 16, 2007, where the same services were provided in exchange for an aggregate of 3,942,220 shares of restricted Common Stock payable in four equal quarterly installments.  On January 2, 2008, eTelcharge entered into a marketing consulting contract with Mr. Wagner for a 30 day term, under which Mr. Wagner provided advisory services with respect to business development and various business transactions in exchange for an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock.  Under the terms of a two month consulting agreement, dated October 17, 2007, Mr. Wagner provided advisory services aimed at engaging other financial public relation firms to publicize eTelcharge in exchange for an aggregate of 6,700,000 shares of restricted Common Stock.  In addition, Rodney Wagner is the sole owner of The G.I.D. Group Inc., which is a party to a consulting agreement with eTelcharge.  This thirteen month agreement, dated March 20, 2007, is for assistance with business development in exchange for an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock.  As described above in Item 5Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, the Debenture issued to GGI on December 28, 2007 is secured by a pledge of 3,000,000 shares of common stock provided by Rodney Wagner.  As described above in Item 5, on March 20, 2007, eTelcharge issued 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock to American Home Market, in a negotiated retirement of principal and accrued interest on an unsecured promissory note issued to AHM on March 31, 2006 in the amount of $250,000.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, AHM had advanced $150,313 under the AHM Note.  The AHM Note provided for an interest rate of 8% per annum, with interest-only payments commencing on February 1, 2007.  The outstanding balance payable at the time of settlement of the AHM Note was $157,246, which included $6,933 of accrued interest.  The principal balance was due on December 1, 2007, but AHM demanded earlier payment.  During 1999, eTelcharge purchased proprietary rights from Consumer Data Solutions Corp. ("CDS"), which, at the time, had the same majority stockholder as eTelcharge, Carl Sherman.  This agreement requires eTelcharge to pay CDS for a period of 99 years, 3% of any and all income, less customary and normal business expenses associated with the usage of the purchased proprietary rights (which equates to 3% of net income of eTelcharge) beginning January 1, 2001.  These proprietary rights are not currently in use in any of the technology of eTelcharge, and no royalties were paid in fiscal 2008 or are anticipated to be paid in the future.  Director Independence  Our Board of Directors does not have separate standing compensation, nominating or audit committees.  The following members of the Board of Directors of eTelcharge are independent as defined in Rule 4200(a) of the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards: Thomas Jackson.  The following members of the Board of Directors of eTelcharge are not independent as defined in Rule 4200(a) of the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards: Robert M.

Policy Related to Board of Directors Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Accounting Firm.

We generally do not request any Audit-related services from Malone.   ·Tax services, which are generally tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services, including preparation of tax returns.   ·All other services, which are generally all products and services which do not otherwise fall into the three categories described above.
